NGC 188... One of the most ancient open clusters, NGC 188 in the constellation Cepheus,is masked by galactic cirrus less than 5 degrees from Polaris. It was discovered by John Herschel in 1825. Unlike most open clusters that drift apart after a few million years because of the gravitational interaction of our galaxy, NGC 188 lies far above the plane of the galaxy and is one of the most ancient of open clusters known, at approximately 5 billion years old.

Abell 85, aka CTB 1, or LBN576, is a large supernova remnant (SNR) located in Cassiopeia. Originally catalogued by George Abell as a planetary nebula, it soon became evident that it was actually a SNR. It was also recognized as a radio source and acquired the alternative designation CTB 1. Abell 85 has relatively weak [OIII] and H-Beta emission compared to the "traditional" supernova-remnant lines of H-alpha, [NII], and [SII]. For visual observers, the gain in contrast using [O III] and H-Beta filters appears to be minimal. In fact, this object is often considered as one of the most challenging for visual observation [Ultimate challenges] and remains a good test for CCD photography.](https://photos.smugmug.com/Astronomy/Night-Over-Ontario/i-KXm5zmg/4/b91b4bd7/Ti/ABELL%2085%207%20BEST%20with%20LR-Ti.jpg)
